Hi friends. I’m so happy to be feeling better so
I can visit with you here on the blog to share a few of my newest looks for setting
a gorgeous Thanksgiving table.
Today I’m showcasing 9 favorite ways to set a
Thanksgiving table, using napkins, placemats, runners and tablecloths exclusively
by Pacific & Rose.
It’s so much fun to take a beautiful hand-printed
tablecloth or runner and use it as the inspiration for the whole table.
What I’m sharing today are elegant, simple and
not over-the-top tables that are easily replicated, and I’ll give you some
behind the scenes tips for setting similar tables right in your own home.
ONE
Let’s start with a dramatic look using complementary colors. This bold
and wonderful pattern is called Gayatri Peacock. When I first saw it I knew I
had to pair it with orange for fall, and I think it’s a Thanksgiving look few
could ever forget!
Start
with the Gayatri Peacock Tablecloth and Gayatri Peacock Buti Napkins, and then use a
contrasting natural-fiber placemat, simple glassware, and wicker-wrapped water
glasses, if available, to create a similar look.
Now we
can come in with hits of orange through the tall taper candles in vintage brass
candlesticks and adorable napkin rings. Of course, autumn leaves and pumpkins
are the most perfect accents for this look!
Placemats and napkin rings are from CB Lifestyle.
TWO
One
of the most classic patterns in the collection is Belita. I just love all the soothing
colors in this pretty pattern. For this table, I started with the table runner,
and then used the matching placemats and napkins.
To
showcase the lovely colors of Belita, I selected my go-to simple white farmhouse
style dinner plates so the napkins would really pop at each place setting.
Late-season
hydrangeas from the garden work so well with the colors of Belita, as do the soft muted colors of all the pumpkins.
THREE
The
pattern of the season has got to be Umbria, and here I’ve used the Mustard colorway
to accentuate the glorious sunflowers at the center of the table.
I grew
dozens and dozens of sunflowers in my garden this year, and it all comes down to moments
like this… displaying them at the table with table linens in similar hues.
Green mini
pumpkins and eucalyptus leaves soften the look of the table and add seasonal
charm to the whole room.
Umbria Mustard is so perfect for a sunny Thanksgiving table look! Here I've layered placemats on top of the tablecloth for upscale style.
FOUR
Here’s
a similar look, this time using Umbria Olive. I’ve again layered placemats on the matching
tablecloth, which gives each place setting a lovely singular arrangement on its own.
Dried white
hydrangeas and a collection of heirloom pumpkins add that Thanksgiving boost we
need at this table. And what about these adorable pumpkin plates? They match so
perfectly with the Umbria Olive linens.
Classic
bamboo flatware looks amazing with the Umbria Olive napkins and placemats and
adds that much-needed texture that I love incorporating in every table.
FIVE
Now
for a real punch of color we have Lilibet Cranberry Mint. This is one beauty of
a pattern, and this latest colorway is what we’ve been after since day one!
Don’t
be restricted to muted fall colors for Thanksgiving. Here’s a great example of
thinking outside the box and using what you love for your very own Thanksgiving
table.
White
mini pumpkins make a statement at each place setting, as do these stylish woven
placemats. Unseen is a big basket of white hydrangeas and dried grasses at the
center of the table, which brings this whole look together.
SIX
A
fancier version of number four is seen at this table setting with the Umbria Olive collection.
It’s all about accessories here to amp up the autumn vibes of this pretty pattern.
Elegant
turkey place card holders from Arthur Court make a statement like no other… "It’s
Thanksgiving!! Bring on the turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie!"
SEVEN
Blue
and white lovers of the world unite! We can make it beautiful for Thanksgiving!
Do you recognize Umbria? This is Umbria Sapphire Blue, and with the addition of
beautiful blue transferware plates, you can make it happen for Thanksgiving.
I’ve
had these blue transferware turkey plates for years, but any blue and white
plate would work for a table setting like this. Plain white china would also be
lovely with Umbria Sapphire Blue.
All
you need are a few seasonal accents like we’ve previously talked about. Wicker,
raffia, brass, autumn leaves and pumpkins would all add autumn charm to a table
like this.

Laura’s Garden is a unique pattern with soft salmon and green tones that are so
inspiring for fall. Set an elegant Thanksgiving table with this pattern and
accent with pretty matching flowers found at the supermarket!
Hints
of pomegranate red make this pattern a lovely choice for the autumn holiday
season. As you can see, the natural textures of the flatware and napkin rings soften the look of the table
and adds so much character to this whole setting.

NINE
Turkey plates are one of my favorite collectables, and if you look closely, this plate
has just a hint of green in the pattern. I paired it with two different mix-and-match
green linens from Pacific & Rose.
We started
with the Umbria Olive Table Runner and matched the Gayatri Green Napkins with
it. I just love the freshness of this whole look!
You
can take this approach too. Select your favorite dinnerware pattern for your Thanksgiving
table and find a complimentary color you’d love to use for the backdrop aka
tablecloth or table runner.
This
approach makes table setting so much fun, and you end up this a very unique and
beautiful Thanksgiving table.
